Good morning all! I suspect Kail was more of a TV show watcher than a feed watcher. She might have seen a small segment of Howie ranting against April and not realized it went on for several hours. Maybe we should be discussing what potential contestants need to know that's not clear if one only sees the show. Yesterday I noted that Eric only watches the show and thinks they bleep out bad language/rants on the live feeds. He seemed quite clueless about how much we see, and he's also an avid TV viewer.

Tes, really, I thought Eric said he was a big fan of the show. Which to me means more than just watching the show 3 times a week. I'm just shocked that he would think that. Maybe that is why the F word is used by him all the time. I do think people should be aware of what they are getting into. Geez, if I signed up for a show I would be on line reading everything that I could, watching past feeds, and I would make sure I understand the rules.

After I posted I remembered that Eric's brother is the one who watches the feeds not Eric. I'll see if I can find something about that on the other board.

I read at another site (either sucks or jokers) where Eric's brother said Eric is a big BB fan, but he wasn't an internet fan. He watched the tv show.

And my opinion after reading the posts last night. If Dustin gets put up as POV replacement the LNC5 think they have the votes. Jen/Dani/Zach think that they don't have the votes. Both don't know about Eric's vote and that Dustin would be out if they all voted him out. So, Eric asked Jen who she would vote out and she said Dick. This was in front of the whole LNC. Then Eric said to everyone that he doesn't want a hinky vote and that they were all solid. Now if I was Jen, the bells would be going off in my head. My thoughts would be that Eric is setting me up to be a hinky vote by voting out Dustin. And I would be thinking of a way to vote out Dustin and blame the hinky vote on Eric. I just hope she tries to use this opportunity to get in the game instead of using the vote emotionally. And this is from someone who didn't like JEN at all in the beginning.

From SS: "has Eric been a part of the reality television forum community prior to going into the house? Is he aware of all the websites for BB and the kinds of things people post?" Reply by Eric's brother SenorX: "He is very much aware because of me - and has read some things I've shown him. However, the last two summers he didn't get the feeds so he couldn't view anything without pre-screening because of spoiler concerns. But he is all too aware of what's out there and as he put it before leaving - win or lose, good or bad, at least he'll be memorable. And he gave me his blessing to come out of my shell and post full-time here this summer as long as the producers would be cool with it - and once the show started last Thursday I was given the go-ahead."

Thanks for posting that. So, just a show viewer. But he is aware of the feeds, what people say etc but just hasn't watched the feeds the last two years. I don't think Eric planned to be memorable for the reasons why we the feed watchers will remember him.

Dfng, I agree with your logic regarding what Jen should be thinking. She's been fixated on getting Dick out so she can work with Dani, though. If Dustin does go on the block with Dick, I hope she'll reconsider her options.

I wish that BB would set some boundaries and stop the kind of bullying that Howie and ED have indulged in.

Ah yes- sure wish Zach, Jen, and Dani knew they could do it. Because they do not know they will evict Dick and then there will be that wonky vote and they will kick themselves. Oh well. Only hope to get Dustin out is if Jam/Jess/Amber realize this is their chance.

Puzzeled, but if they did that, then they would also have to put boundaries around slandering someone's outside of the house activities like incest, child pervert. Or talking about other houseguests family, or well, you get the point. Where do they draw the line in the sand.

Dfng, I was worried about how Jen would vote, but I do think she'll vote Dick out. She wants to work with Dani and Zach and Dick is just too unpredictable for her to keep. I read a snippet of LF's last night where Jen told Dick Dani did have her, Zach and JESS? If Jess is working with them, she's toast, because Jen told D/D. How long will it be before Dick blabs? Also, Jess is taking a huge risk working with Jen at this time. Jen blabs as much as Dick. She can't ascertain whom she should and shouldn't tell things. If Jessica's group even thinks she's working with the other side, she's on the block. I'm hoping Jen misunderstood something Jess said. That's happened before. However, this would explain Jess not putting Zach/Jen on the block.

So, Eric asked Jen who she would vote out and she said Dick. Eric asked Jen if she would vote out the HG that remains on the block (dick/dani)

I doubt BB will draw a line, the more outburts the more the ratings. They love it. These people should be fully warned prior entering the house about what may or may not happen.

Criket, good points. But I don't think Jess is working with Jen because as soon as she left the room didn't she say something bad about her to others. I might have missed the conversation you are referring to though. Thanks for the correction Pinnie, I just inserted Dicks name because he is the one going to be left on the block but you are right, he did say vote out the HG that remains on the block. Either way, he is setting her up for the hinky vote cause he has nobody left to blame it on.

I think Dustin will go and here's why. Jameka wants him out and Amber knows he needs to go before her. Yesterday or Friday Amber said Dustin had won enough and he'd understand. What better chance would they have for a quick, clean break? Yes, it would be quite ruthless and would still leave Dick in the house, but I think it could happen.

Actually, I don't think Jess will put up Dustin. Eric will talk her out of it and she will put up Jen. Telling Jen she is just the pawn. But he has to worry about the dreaded hinky vote in case he has to vote out Jen... what to do, what to do.

Tres, you don't think Eric will be ranting at them, the numbers girls, the numbers - until they just give in?

Dfng, certainly Eric might be screaming if he knew in advance, but what if Jameka and/or Amber don't tell anyone their plan? I'm just saying I think it will be extremely tempting for Jameka, and both of them are primed and ready for Dustin to leave. ETA: I wouldn't be thinking about this but for Jameka explaining it to Amber Friday before last.

I still think that BB is going to step in and at least give it a try to keep both father and daughter in there. I'll be very shocked if Dick walks out Thursday. They would need to really work over Jen. I know she wants Dick gone for peace of mind. She wants him gone so she can work with his daughter. She suggested BB tried to get her to switch her vote to not evict Eric last week but she didn't do it. She said outloud she never wants them to do that again. So I would think if they try it again she isn't going to budge. They sorta shot their own foot trying that one. I also think this is going to be the week where Zach also goes along with the core house vote and assumes Dick is going no matter what and for appearance sake votes accordingly. He is trying so hard this week to "blend" and throwing what he thinks would be nothing but a "sympathy" vote out there to Dick would be a waist of time. So Dick staying really all comes down to BB. Should be interesting.

I think they hate Dick too much to let Dustin go right now.
